About
Solutions Engineer
role.
Light exists to retire factory‑era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers—automated accounting, real‑time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.
We build with customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. Light has gone from idea to operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Keyshot. We’re an early team defining a new software category.
This Solutions Engineer role
Leading technical pre‑sales activities for multinational clients evaluating Light’s platform.
Running product & technical demos that showcase how Light addresses complex finance workflows, system integrations, and scale.
Deep collaboration with prospects’ technical and finance stakeholders to understand current systems, data flows, and pain points.
Designing and proposing architecture & implementation plans that map to client needs, ensuring feasibility and scalability.
Supporting RFPs and responding to technical questions, clarifying how existing or custom integrations will work.
How You Fit Into The Team Your main mission is to translate complex customer requirements into compelling technical solutions—helping both clients and Light see how the platform delivers. You will act as a bridge between sales, product, engineering, implementation, and customers.
You’ll need strong presentation skills, deep ERP domain knowledge, and the ability to simplify complexity.
Your Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or equivalent experience.
3+ years’ experience as a Solutions Engineer/Pre‑Sales Engineer in an ERP/FMS context (vendor‑side preferred).
Deep understanding of ERP implementation projects: data migrations, integrations, customisations, modules (finance, supply chain, etc.).
Excellent technical demo and presentation skills.
Strong relationship building skills.
Hands‑on experience with at least one major ERP system (e.g., NetSuite, Oracle, SAP) and familiarity with cloud‑based systems.
Able to think strategically and practically: balancing customer requirements, technical constraints, and Light’s product roadmap.
Bonus Points
Experience in SaaS / FinTech industry, especially working with multi‑entity financial operations or global accounting standards.
Prior experience migrating customers from legacy ERPs to newer cloud financial platforms.
Knowledge of SQL or Python.
Experience with data transformation, ETL, or data modelling.
Familiarity with API‑based integrations or middleware tools.
Multi‑region implementation experience or working across different regulatory / tax environments.
A Few Tips to Stand Out
Share examples of complex technical pre‑sales / solution engineering projects you’ve led.
Demonstrate how you think about integrations, data migrations, scalability, and managing technical risk.
Be ready to explain how you build trust with both business and technical stakeholders in prospective client organisations.
Show a good intuition for when to push for product changes vs using what’s already there.
The Good Stuff Competitive salary + potential stock options.
Generous package of paid annual leave and public holidays.
Regular socials and company off‑sites.
Huge opportunity for career growth as you help shape a market‑defining product.
Final Words Working at Light means you’re embarking on an exciting journey to reshape the future of multinational financial operations. Our cheat code is that we’ve built something like this before—and are now doing it again, only better.
